You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

Write an equation of the circle with center (-7, 4) and radius 8.
Stels [109]

answer

(x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 64

set up equation

the equation of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

where h is the center x coordinate and k is the center y coordinate

values

from the point (-7,4) we know that h = -7 and k = 4

since the radius is 8, r^2 = 8^2 = 64

plug in values

now that we have all the values, we plug them into (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

(x - (-7))^2 + (y-4)^2 = 64

(x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 64
